There is not single feature of Japanese

generally, the code of japanese female
etiquette requires radical revision Take
that nasty practice of blackening the

course, there are numbers of late years
who have adopted European fashions,
wives and daughters mostly of Japanese,
who have become imbued with Occidental

branch of a particular shrub to the house
of her parents-than the damsel, if the
gentleman is accepted, becomes entitled to
dye her molars and grindeps and pluck
out her eyebrows. And the compound
employed to dye the teeth is most vii
lainous mixture, often corroding the lips
and gums and making the gangrencd
mouth Of japanese lady look like the
sepulcher Of all beauty
No less Objectionable is the custom
which compels young beauty Of Fi-gen
to dye her lips furious red, and hide the
natural carnation of her cheek beneath q

say that there is much in japanese eti-

The sAxoMs SIMPLE WAYS.
How the Village Folk Assist Each other.
Out in the Fields.

Out in the Fields.
The author of ssI4ife and Society in
Eastern Europe gives lively picture of
the primitive customs still kept up among
the Saxon settlers in Hungary. The
reader who is acquainted with the ''log
rollings, y the s'huskings, and the 'apple
bees, = which are really society matters in
the new settlement OF this country, will
be interested in these eastern occasions as
perhaps the originals of similar institu-
tions here. The authors Saxon host,
after speaking of the gypsies and the Wal
lacks as common farm hands, goes on TO
explain how the Saxons contrive to
make themselves independent OF such
help;
They do the drudgery for us; but plow-
ing, sowing, moving and reaping, being
honorable and manly labor, we do our
selves by mutually assisting one another
throughout the busy seasons of the year.
As soon as the service is over in the
church OF a Sunday our honorable
mayor addresses the honorable neigh
bors,' assembled in the church porch on
rainy weather and under one of the
trees in the church inclosure when fine.
He tells them, for instance, that, as il
is the season of the year when this or
that sort of work ought to be done,
Widow Breitlachner's fields must be at
tended to first, or whatever other widows
and orphans fields have to be plowed,
sowed, or moved, and then it is decided
among us t'honorable neighborsn that sc
many of us shall attend to the widows
and orphans crops on the morrow
BY dint Of mutually assisting one an
other, all the outdoor farm work which
we cannot intrust to the Wallacks is got
through, for all Saxons are good neigh
bors, and the interests of all are studied
just as though they were brothers. The
hay making seasons are the busiest of the
whole year.
We are out in the fields all day, and on
moonlight nights all night~ too, and only
sleep during q few hours in the hottest
part of the day, or before the rising OF
the moon. The,old men of the village re.
main over night to look after the safety
of our wives and children, and dozen OF
more of them are told off to wander about
the streets throughout the night to keep q
sharp lookout against the breaking out OF
fire. or the attack of robbers.
SoiRe of them are mounted when OF
patrol, Sand they all carry horns with
them, which they blow at stated inter
walls, in order, that we, away in the mead
ows moving, may know that they are
keeping vigilant wateiA and that all al
home are safe. There is the. alarm horI
blown from the church tower in case O
anything happening, and ON hearing thai
we all rush home to the rescue. 1t is ar
old custom which has been in vogue
among us for centuries, but it is an ex
cellent one for all that.-Youth's Com

A Singular coincidence.

The Rev. DIR. Schuyler tells Of coinci-
dence that happened at an evening service
when he was rector of Trinity church,
Buffalo. AS he was going up into the
pulpit to preach the sermon, lage num-
Der of people entered and seated them
selves among the congregation. The doc
tor gave out his text: '1Our lamps are
gone out, and preached his sermon.
When the sermon was over, the doctor
learned that the people who had entered
the church were the members Of a congre-
cation who worshiped In a chapel few
squares Off. The gas in their chapel had
suddenly gone out, and they sought the
nearest church to continue their worship.
